Rachael asking "What will Bernie do when he loses?

Hey, if Bernie got as much free publicity as Hillary did, there would be no contest.

Bernie has to spend more money for ads than any other candidate because it's the only way to get airtime.

Even President Obama hit the media over the death of journalism.

Nothing is fair anymore and Bernie still gained incredible support despite being blackballed.

This. It's not democracy.

... is because the MSM pundits like Maddow, Matthews, Hayes, and the networks will carry face time for her. They've been doing exactly THAT, so what difference does THAT make?

Feigned interest, but non-the-less, good interview by Maddow, who I don't bother with anymore.

at the convention whether he will run as an independent. The fate of the planet rests on it.

I'm not kidding about that.

The country and the planet are going down the tubes. If we don't stop the oligarchs now I'm afraid it is game over.

Bernie knows that would be a huge mistake that could end up in Trump for President.

No, running Independent is not the answer. Changing the party from within is. It's going to happen, it's just a matter of how soon.

And yes, it is urgent.

Now that Hillary has it mostly won, MSNBC pretends they were not trying to destroy him.

Shame on you Rachel, you overpaid corporate/establishment clown.
